A 26-year-old man, who was waiting tables at a wedding function in Ghaziabad, was allegedly beaten to death after ‘joothi’ (dirty) plates he was carrying, touched some guests. Uttar Pradesh police has arrested three people in connection with the case.
The deceased, identified as Pankaj Kumar, a resident of DLF Shankar Vihar, was working as a waiter at a wedding function in CGS Vatika Guest House in Ghaziabad on November 17 when the incident took place.
His dead body was recovered from the bushes near Garhi Kattaiya village the next day, on November 18.
According to police, the deceased waiter was carrying some plates to get them washed when they accidentally brushed against some guests.
The three accused–identified as Manoj Gupta, Amit Kumar and one other– got angry at Pankaj and a heated argument broke out, police said.
“Pankaj was tossed on the ground and suffered severe head injuries. Fearing that the waiter was dead, the guests dumped his body into the bushes,” police said.
When Pankaj did not return home the next day, his mother approached the police. During the probe, police questioned those present at the guest house, his last known location, and evidence was collected.
